About the Company

Veris Wealth Partners is an independent, SEC registered, impact wealth management firm founded in 2007 by five partners who share a deep conviction in the interdependence of values and wealth. Veris believes in managing this interdependence with knowledge and intention, ultimately delivering benefits to customers, companies and the world by investing in companies focused on sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. Veris clients include individuals, foundations, non-profit organizations, family offices, and investment advisory firms.

Veris is recognized as both a pioneer and leader in the field of responsible and sustainable investing, and is strongly equipped to provide solutions for clients seeking to create change through their wealth while meeting financial objectives. As the business argument for sustainable solutions to global problems is gaining significant traction, corporations and individuals are viewing their own practices and those of others with new expectations.
